Marvel, Sony and Paramount All Decide To Pass Over Comic-Con

San Diego’s lucrative fanboy convention will be missing some key players next month:MarvelStudios, home of the Avengers, won’t be dressing up forComic-Conwhile Sony Pictures and Paramount Pictures have also decided to skip the Hall H presentations.

“It wasn’t a knock against Comic-Con,” one spokesperson explains, “the film cycles just didn’t allow it.”

Sony and Paramount just didn’t have the fanboy material to promote, said sources, while Marvel, which last missed the confab in 2011, already unveiled its new wave of Avengers at a special fan event in October.

Plus, the cost of sending a number of movies to Comic-Con can set back a studio a few hundred thousand dollars, so “why force the issue?,” one exec asks.

But don’t expect it to ruin the party in Hall H: In addition to the new “Star Wars” and final “Hunger Games,” fans could see the rumored coming-out party for Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment’sJustice League, which features Batman, Superman, the Flash and Aquaman, among other surprises.

Also expected are 20th Century Fox’s “Fantastic Four” and quite possibly a few “X-Men.”

The 46th edition of Comic-Con will be held July 9-12 at the San Diego Convention Center.
